Why Sewer Backup Happens?
A Clog
Just like your drain pipes, your main sewer line can become clogged, which can cause sewage backups in your home. If it is just one toilet, sink or tub that seems to be giving you a problem, it may just be a clog in that drain. If, however, every flush creates a sewage backup in your home, you likely have a blockage in your main sewer line.
Tree Roots
Another common cause of home sewer backups is tree roots. Even if the area directly above your sewer line is free of trees, roots from a neighboring yard could be the cause of your sewer problem. Tree roots can cause a couple of problems for your sewer lines – they can grow into the pipes and cause holes and blockages or they may wrap around your sewer line and crush it.
Broken or Collapsed Sewer Lines
If your house is old, your sewer backup could be caused by broken, cracked or collapsed lines. Although plastic sewer lines have now become the norm, older homes were built using cast iron and clay piping that can break down over time and create sewer problems.
How Can Local Plumbing Help?
Don’t reach for what you think might be a cheap and easy fix, such as Draino(r) or Liquid-Plumbr(r) to treat a clogged drain. These harsh chemicals can damage your plumbing pipes and sewer and result in making a simple fix a more costly repair. Local Plumbing offer simple, low-priced treatment options which use enzymes instead of harsh chemicals that can often solve and prevent future problems.To solve the drain backups problem, the first step is to identify the cause of your home sewer backup. Local Plumbing will provide professional video inspection service of your sewer line and show you exactly what is causing the problem. As your technician discovers the root of the issue, they keep you posted every step of the way, and then recommend the most effective solution for addressing the issue.
